really? well that sounds like its a process that is spawning "at wake up" then.

My first thought is something related to the wifi.

And now I have been thinking about this more I am FAIRLY certain that YIFAN LU even goes as far to mention some of this in his original conversion notes.
Certainly something about wifi fails.

My next thought would be to dig in the AT_WAKE_UP script (I have zero idea what that exactly might be) http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/upstart_cookbook.pdfWARNING! DO NOT MESS THOSE SCRIPTS UP OR YOU WILL PROBABLY BRICK THE DEVICE I think that was fairly clear. be careful.
